R.J. O’Brien WebOE

The new RJ O’Brien WebOE platform is an exciting new product that we are proud to introduce

to our IB community. This program gives you the flexibility and portability of a web based

platform, and the account management, order entry, quoting and charting capabilities of a

and help give you the knowledge to make this an important tool in your trading arsenal.

including each individual fill price and time of a multi-lot order. Fill details provides the option to

show all fills and group by price for easier view. These fills can then be individually notified by

from the exchange or the order desk.

The Order Information window also allows you to modify certain orders. For example, a working

order’s information window will allow you to cancel or replace orders by clicking on the

corresponding buttons. A filled order will give you the option to reverse the order, allowing you

to instantly place an order for an offsetting position. A parked order will allow you to un-park the

order, sending it into the exchange. You can also cancel a parked order from this screen.

The risk summary screen gives you a quick view of account margin information. This is a useful

tool for Brokers and Clients alike to keep track of and manage account’s total cash, risk margin,

and the change in accounts value based on current day activity. The screen updates account

portfolios and uses current prices and intraday span to calculate risk and mark to market profit

loss.

Sorting, Filtering, Adding and Removing Columns

Please refer to the Grid Features section on page 6 for detailed instructions.

The Positions and Balances Screens

The positions and balances screen allow you to pull up your latest account information without

The Quote Grid

Depending on what you subscribed to, the quote grid allows you to access real time or delayed

quotes wherever you have an internet connection and a compatible Web Browser. The quote

grid is also completely customizable, allowing you access to a personalized quoting system

each time you log in. Please refer to the Grid features section of the manual for more

information.

TO ADD A QUOTE TO THE QUOTE PAGE, select future or option from the first menu at the bottom

of the quote grid. Next, select a symbol by using the symbol finder icon (binoculars) or type the

symbol and contract (month/year) the second and third drop down menus. If you begin to type

matching what you have typed. If there are multiple pages of results, the buttons at the bottom

of the list will help you view the data. If you are entering a futures quote, you can click the add

button at this time.

For an options quote, you will also need to enter a strike in the fourth column, as well as select

process will be added to the list below the previously added quotes.

To roll a quote to the next contract month, right click on the quote’s row, and select “Roll to Next

Month”. The contract can also be rolled back by selecting “Roll to Previous Month”. This is an

quote and re-adding the new contract in two steps.

Like the Order Log, the quote grid can be customized in a number of ways.

Adding and Removing Tabs

Tabs can be added to your quote grid to group your quotes in ways convenient to you. TO ADD

corner of the tab or right click on the tab itself and select Close tab.

TO RENAME A TAB, right click on the tab and select Rename. A pop-up will ask you to type a

Option Strike Matrix

The Option Strike Matrix displays the selected futures contract strikes' call and put market data.

The window is divided vertically by the Strike Price column where the call data is on the left and

the put data is on the right. To access the OSM, select Option Strike Matrix from the Tools

menu bar. To add a contract, either enter the future contract and month year or click the symbol

lookup icon in the upper left hand corner of the grid.

Additional column headers including theoretical / greek values are also available through the

column headers menu bar. Additionally, column headers can be rearranged by dragging and

dropping the location.

The right click context menu provides further options including refresh, quick order entry, the

theoretical option value calculator, and opening additional quoting features.

The Option Strike Matrix can also be floated and made independent of the Order Log by clicking

the “Unlock into separate window” icon in the upper right-hand corner of the grid. This option

will allow for the OSM to float or pop-out from the web browser and be moved freely between

monitors. Note an additional customization is available in the Settings menu to always open the

OSM as an independent window. Please be aware the floating window will not be remembered

in the layout after log-off. This setting will be available in a later release.

16

Theoretical Option Value Calculator

The Theoretical Option Pricing Calculator can be used to evaluate the dynamic relationships between the value of an option and the factors which affect that value. Once you have entered the parameters of the option evaluation model, the calculator will provide a theoretical value and the option Greeks for the call or put option you are valuing. The calculator can be displayed from the context menu of either the Strike Matrix or Quote Page as well as from the Tools menu.

The Option Contract can be selected by pressing the right contract search button or it can be manually entered and then selected by pressing the Load button. The calculations are performed using the Future's Last price unless the Bid or Ask button is selected. A custom underlying futures price can also be manually entered into this feild. Currently all theoretical calculations are based upon the Black76 model. The other Calculation Parameters are entered by the system depending upon the selected contract. They may be overwritten by entering a value in the corresponding text box.

Order Entry

17

The order form is accessible from many areas within the platform, and provides an easy,

straightforward way to enter orders. The MARKET BOOK contains a depth of market view that

allows trades to be entered quickly using the price ladder. The OPTION STRIKE MATRIX displays

market data for all strikes for a specific contract. This section of the manual will reference

accessing the order form, MARKET BOOK and the OPTION STRIKE MATRIX through the tool bar

across the top of WebOE window.

The Order Form

To open a new order form, click on the Order Form icon located on the

tool bar. By default an order form for a single futures day order will be created.

Submitting an order

Once the necessary fields are filled out on the order screen, you have several options to choose

from.

Reset Form - This will reset all fields to the default value. Create Template - In the process of a given day or period of time, a user may need to execute many fundamentally similar trades. To facilitate this activity, templates for orders can be stored/recalled by the user. With an order ticket partially or fully populated, clicking CREATE TEMPLATE will pop up a SAVE ORDER TEMPLATE box prompting you to

19

name the template. Once you name it and click save, the order forms information is saved to the Order Template Manager. The Order Template Manager can be found under the Order Form menu across the top of the screen. Keyboard shortcuts will also be created for each template you create and can be seen in parenthesis next to the name you gave the template in the Template Manager. Park Order - This will send the order to our server without submitting it. That means the order has been created, but not yet sent to the exchange. Parked orders can be seen on your Order Log screen with a status of PRK. To submit the parked order, right click on one or several parked orders in the Order Log and left click Unpark Order. If you have multiple parked orders selected, you will see the number in parenthesis next to UNPARK ORDERS. This will send all the parked orders to the exchange at once. To

Parked orders will remain parked until either submitted or cancelled. Submit Order - Once the order ticket is filled out, clicking submit order will bring up a SUBMIT CONFIRMATION WINDOW.

If you would like to cancel the order submission, click Abort. The order is not sent to the exchange until the submit button is clicked.

Snapquotes The Snapquotes window will give a current snapshot quote of the contract specified in the order

screen. It also allows you to fill in the price box by left clicking on a price listed in the

snapquotes screen. This will fill in the price field with that price.

Order Template Manager A trader who often places similar orders can use the Order Template Manager to create and

save templates for easy access.

To create an order template, open a new order form, and

fill out any information on the order form that you would like to

have saved. For example, you can create a template for 1 lot

GBX corn order by entering a quantity of 1 in the Quantity field,

ZC – GBX CORN in the Symbol field, and clicking the Save

Template button. After clicking Save Template, you will be

asked to enter a name for this order template. Type a name for

this template in this field and click OK.

To access the order template manager, click the Order Form drop down menu on the

Tool Bar, and select Order Template Manager from the list. Once you have created order

templates, they will be displayed here. You will see a keyboard

20

shortcut at the bottom of the Order Form context menu for each template you created.

To use order templates Once an order template is created, it can be accessed in a few

different ways.

From the Order Form dropdown menu, the user can click on a template and it will

automatically populate a new order with the template you saved.

From the Order Template Manager, double click on the template name you want to use

or right click on the template name and select Populate Order Form.

For quick access, each order template is assigned a number automatically when it is

created. This number is viewable in the order template manager to the left side of the

template name. If you know the template number, you can quickly pull up the template

by holding down the Ctrl Key and Shift Key and then typing the number associated with

the template. The Ctrl/Shift shortcut code is also displayed with the templates at the

bottom of the Order Form dropdown menu.

To remove or rename a previously created template, open the Order Template

Manager, and right click on the template that you would like to remove or rename. You will see

a menu that allows you to select remove or rename the template.

The Market Book

Another tool for entering orders is the MarketBook. If you

signed up for real time quotes, the Depth of Market ladder

displays a real time view of the bids and offers in products

tradable through WebOE. It provides the fastest way to enter

an order through the platform.

Here is a list of fields available through the MarketBook.

These fields allow you to select the product, as well as the

quantity of orders placed through this screen.

Clicking the drop down menu, and left-clicking on the

account.

21

Starting to type the account number, which will auto fill the account. Once the correct

account is highlighted in the menu, click on the account number, or press the tab key.

It can also be selected using the active account list, located on the toolbar. The account

selected there will automatically be entered into the MarketBook when a new one is

created.

To select a product or symbol:

Click the drop down menu, and left-click on the correct product in the list.
